Ansonia Clock Co. “Brandon”, ca. 1904.  An enameled cast iron mantel clock notable for the buffalo heads on the sides.  The finish on the 10.5-inch-tall by 16-inch-wide case is original, in good condition; the ornaments may have been repainted, and would have been originally gilded.  There is a paper dial with the Ansonia name and logo, with some ageing; the hands are correct.  The dial glass is flat in a simple sash.  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement runs briefly and probably just needs to be run in.  It strikes on a cathedral gong.  $50–$150.
